Abstract

Samples cast from heat-resistant ZhS3DK-VI nickel alloy modified with yttrium in combination with titanium carbonitride or niobium were studied. It is found that the chemical composition of the samples is satisfactory and meets the requirements of OST 1.90.126-85. Heat resistance, strength and ductility characteristics of the studied samples after hot isostatic pressing and standard heat treatment meet the regulatory requirements. The impact toughness value for the alloy with niobium content is slightly lower than the developer requirements, but is within the regulatory standards. In the microstructure of the alloy with titanium carbonitride, the grain boundaries are mainly thin with the presence of carbides with a size not exceeding 4mμ, as well as carbonitrides in the form of globular clusters near the grain boundaries. As for the alloy with niobium, the grain boundaries are coarser due to the release of carbonitrides up to 7mμ  in size, as well as plate-like carbides up to 10mμ long. Thus, complex modification with yttrium and titanium carbonitride ensures the formation of a more favorable structure and significantly improves mechanical and heat-resistant properties of the ZhS3DK-VI nickel alloy.
